The Present Moment
We made the pilgrimage from Naples back to CT Friday and Saturday. We drive to the midpoint in Lumberton NC, and it is tedious. Flying is so much easier, but I wanted to bring some junk for the beach on MV and have two cars available.
A word of caution: Keep your crash helmets that you used today on if driving on I-95. About three out of ten drivers I noticed texting while driving , and most of them were under 30 I would estimate.
I had a choice of scrambling to do a blog yesterday but I was drained. I chose to give lessons on ten speeds bike riding to a few grandchildren, and catch up on hugs and stories with family, and play card games like Moo/riddle me this with the kids.
Quite rewarding, sorry for my lapse in self- promoting our current specials.
I hope you will settle for the charts and texts I posted today. A reminder our BEST charts aren’t published to the public.

Nickels and Dimes
Pay up. One way or the other, we will pay for our market education. --------- The future is already known, and today's drama played out according to our dress rehersal. Premarket target 52, 53 Last to leave yesterday loses. Goal today Boyz want 57+; #kiss Shorts use...
Castle of Angels
Angels fly, even with broken wings. Just ask the shorts who thought they had great position going into Friday's trading day. After a rout on Thursday, who could argue with the logic of MATD? Still, somehow it's hard not to notice that the past five years have made it...

Avoid Trouble
Avoid Trouble. When confused, go to the sideline and do nothing. Carve pieces out of the day's movements. Accept stop outs on our probes. Expect to leave some chips on the table. expect trailers to get hit. Seek excellence, not perfection. Today's elevator was...
Odds and Ends
O ye of little faith. Odds said Bounce day expected. Charts said soft range, 2 way day in No Man's land. Charlie caught at today's support after the news, and squeezed into the close. Plan was to see a megaphone shred one way traders early then bounce for the 66 to 68...
Just do it
Step by Step. Clues abound, but a paradox exists. The principle of "Kiss" is alive and well, but it doesn't mean simple is easy. ============= A reminder: We do the best we can to analyze and help educate traders to become self-reliant. Although we suggest multiple...
